Abstract

Purpose: This study aims at comprehending counterproductive behavior from negative workplace situations, namely job stress. As job stress is an individual attitude, trait emotional intelligence (EI) was considered the determinant factor. In addition, the effect of person-organization (PO) fit was also scrutinized as a predictor of job stress.Design/methodology/approach: The study used quantitative surveys in the leasing industry of Indonesia. 88 valid responses were used in the analysis. The analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modelling with the help of the Smart PLS. The variables were measured using robust indicators from previous studies.Findings: The results confirmed three meaningful relationships between counterproductive work behavior, job stress, trait EI and PO fit. Specifically, the analysis found a negative association between trait EI and job stress. It also revealed the negative effect of PO fit on job stress. However, the study failed to provide empirical evidence to support the relationship between job stress and counterproductive work behavior.Research Limitations: This study has low generalization power since it did not construct from large sample size. Future research efforts should consider adding alternative dimensions that could help to better understand and predict CWB.Practical and Social Implications: This study provides guidelines for practitioner to select and promote high EI candidates since they are proven to be less susceptible to stress. This study also suggests companies to align working atmosphere with employees’ characteristics. It also contributes to social interaction in the workplace by pointing companies to establish less stressfully work atmosphere.Originality/value: This study considers alternative procedures to measuring counterproductive work behavior compared to those used in previous studies. Additionally, this study includes both personal or individual characteristics and interaction between the person and the organization to predict job stress.

印尼租赁业员工反生产行为、工作压力、特质情商与个人组织契合度

目的:本研究旨在了解负面职场情境即工作压力下的反生产行为。由于工作压力是个体的一种态度，因此被认为是工作压力的决定因素。此外，个人与组织(PO)契合度的影响也被视为工作压力的预测因子。设计/方法/方法:本研究对印度尼西亚的租赁业进行了定量调查，在分析中使用了88份有效回复。分析是在智能PLS的帮助下使用结构方程建模进行的。变量是用以前研究中的稳健指标来测量的。研究结果证实了反生产行为、工作压力、特质情商与工作目标契合度之间存在三种有意义的关系。具体来说，分析发现特质情商与工作压力之间存在负相关。同时也揭示了PO适合度对工作压力的负向影响。然而，本研究未能提供经验证据来支持工作压力与反生产行为之间的关系。研究局限:本研究没有从大样本量构建，泛化能力较低。未来的研究工作应考虑增加其他维度，以帮助更好地理解和预测绕道。实践和社会意义:本研究为从业者选择和提升高情商候选人提供了指导，因为他们被证明不太容易受到压力的影响。该研究还建议公司将工作氛围与员工的特点结合起来。它还通过指示公司建立压力较小的工作氛围，有助于工作场所的社会互动。原创性/价值:与之前的研究相比，本研究考虑了测量反生产行为的替代程序。此外，本研究还包括个人或个体特征以及个人与组织之间的相互作用来预测工作压力。

期刊介绍： The aim of Intangible Capital is to publish theoretical and empirical articles that contribute to contrast, extend and build theories that contribute to advance our understanding of phenomena related with management, and the management of intangibles, in organizations, from the perspectives of strategic management, human resource management, psychology, education, IT, supply chain management and accounting. The scientific research in management is grounded on theories developed from perspectives taken from a diversity of social sciences. Intangible Capital is open to publish articles that, from sociology, psychology, economics and industrial organization contribute to the scientific development of management and organizational science. Intangible Capital publishes scholar articles that contribute to contrast existing theories, or to build new theoretical approaches. The contributions can adopt confirmatory (quantitative) or explanatory (mainly qualitative) methodological approaches. Theoretical essays that enhance the building or extension of theoretical approaches are also welcome. Intangible Capital selects the articles to be published with a double bind, peer review system, following the practices of good scholarly journals. Intangible Capital publishes three regular issues per year following an open access policy. On-line publication allows to reduce publishing costs, and to make more agile the process of reviewing and edition. Intangible Capital defends that open access publishing fosters the advance of scientific knowledge, making it available to everyone. Intangible Capital publishes articles in English, Spanish and Catalan.
